WOMEN OF ZIMBABWE ARISE (WOZA) is a grassroots women’s organisation campaigning in Zimbabwe. Leaders and members from WOZA regularly take to the streets to hold the government of Zimbabwe to account for its failure to meet their basic needs and are confronted by a repressive and brutal state. It was founded in Zimbabwe in 2003. Its symbol is a Rose. Its mission statement is:
“The power of love is stronger than the love of power”
WOZA have a custom of giving out roses on St Valentine’s Day to the public and to the police. Roses are being given out in Dublin to express support for WOZA and their campaign against a range of human rights abuses for which they hold their government acountable.
